Imagine learning about your own death date on your next visit to a hospital. Sounds scary? Or preparative? Everyone's having mixed feelings right now. Well, this is not something borrowed from a movie plot, this is actually happening.
Hospitals in the UK are planning to use an AI death calculator to tell patients the rough date of their death. The program is called AI-ECG risk estimation or AIRE. Developed by researchers at Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and published in Lancet Digital Health, this detects the death date of an individual.
